The third volume of the cannon fires his mother Chapter 396 The decision of the general
In late March 1921, the First Congress of the Chinese Bolshevik Party headed by Chen Shaobai was held in a small building in Hong Kong. Nineteen people including Chen Shaobai, Xu Tongxiong, Yin Ruizhi, sisters Yin Weijun, Zhao Shu, etc. participated in the meeting.

International representatives were sent to attend the meeting. This meeting adopted the party constitution of the Chinese Bolshevik Party and elected the leadership body. Chen Shaobai was unanimously approved as the party chairman. At the same time, the list of leaders of the local party groups was initially approved, and Xu Tongxiong was in charge of organizational work as the vice chairman.
The conference lasted for five days. Since Hong Kong was a British colony, there was no trouble during the entire conference. It can be said that the conference was a great success.
On the day the meeting ended, the passionate comrades were discussing the current work tasks enthusiastically. At this time, a piece of good news came from thousands of miles away. On March 27, the great Soviet Red Army officially announced that it would gather 450,000 troops to form the Eastward March Army.
Trotsky served as the commander of the front army and commanded the troops to launch a fierce attack on the reactionary forces of the pseudo-Russian Empire entrenched in central and eastern Russia.
After the news came, there was a burst of cheers, and everyone's face showed a joyful smile. In their view, the evil capitalism will be overthrown, and the great proletariat will achieve an unprecedented victory. The military actions of the Soviet Red Army made the new China
The Bolshevik Party saw the hope of success, and everyone was determined. As long as they followed the footsteps of the Soviets, their motherland would surely become the perfect country in their ideals.
Slightly different from the plan, the foresighted Trotsky did not directly attack Tyumen as planned at the beginning of the war. Instead, he mobilized the army to push eastward from the Serov line, pretending to attack Huanglong regardless of the left and right wings.
posture.
The Siberian Railway is Russia's main artery connecting the east and west, and Surgut is the hub from Western Siberia to the east. Trotsky gathered 300,000 troops and rushed towards Surgut with overwhelming force. He was stationed in Surgut along the way.
Gut's Russian imperial army only had more than 30,000 people, and its military strength almost reached a disparity of 1:10.
When they learned that the Red Army was marching towards Surgut, the Surgut garrison immediately panicked and hurriedly called for help. You must know that once Surgut is occupied by the Red Army, the entire Siberian Railway will be paralyzed, and
In the north, the troops in the south will also be cut off from their retreat, which will have extremely serious consequences for the entire Russian Imperial Army.
For Denikin's Department in the south, the central government of the Russian Empire has limited mobilization orders. After all, Denikin's Department is different from other troops. Moreover, Denikin is nominally the Minister of Army of the Russian Empire. He only listens to his troops and does not listen to announcements.
.So when the orthodox government of the Russian Empire learned of the situation, it immediately issued an order to rescue Surgut to the commanders in the south and north. But after the order was issued, Denikin in the south had insufficient military strength. Long-distance rescue was not realistic and was very likely
Falling into the Red Army's tactical circle of encirclement and reinforcements
They were trapped and refused to execute it. Moreover, Denikin proposed to the military that even if the Red Army occupied Surgut, it would not matter to the overall situation. After all, the left and right wings were already under the control of the Russian Imperial forces.
Once the battle lines are drawn
Even with the Siberian Railway as a support, the hundreds of thousands of troops will still become a lonely army. At that time, only the troops from the south and the north will move closer to Serov. They will adopt a closed-door and dog-fighting posture, with Trotsky's steady character.
Look, they will retreat quickly.
Furthermore, what if Trotsky makes a desperate move? Although Surgut is important, don’t forget that to the east of Surgut is Central Siberia. There is an impregnable Siberian defense line. There are also well-equipped and well-trained Central Siberians.
The ** team assisted in the defense. With Trotsky's lone strength, he broke through the Siberian defense line with the two wings unstable, and even pushed back China and Russia.
It is simply more difficult for the coalition forces to reach the sky. Therefore, there is no need to be so panicked about the Red Army's military operation to attack Surgut. Instead, Surgut can be used as a bait to try to contain the Red Army's strength. At the same time, the southern and northern teams follow the predetermined plan.
Marching westward, forcing the opponent to retreat voluntarily, you can even launch a counter-encirclement of the Red Army troops, thereby defeating the enemy's strategic attempt in one fell swoop.
From a military point of view, Denikin's judgment was correct, but the center of the orthodox government of the Russian Empire did not think so. They believed that Denikin was standing and talking without pain, and once Surgut was occupied by the Red Army, he would wait to break through.
If we have established the road to the east, what if the Chinese troops on the Siberian defense line fail to work hard and the defense line is breached? This is tantamount to inviting the wolf into the house and putting the opponent at your doorstep.
Yes, Denikin, no matter how eloquently you say, it is just a hypothesis, but how accurate is this hypothesis? Moreover, the revival of the Russian Empire is the hope of everyone in the center. The forced abandonment of Serov has already caused some nobles and
The people are very dissatisfied. If Surgut is lost now, it will have a huge impact on people's hearts and morale. No matter what, Surgut must be defended, even if it means temporarily giving up the advantages of the north and south lines for Surgut.
No matter what.
From this point of view, the orthodox government of the Russian Empire strictly ordered the troops in Vorkuta to go south and do their best to rescue Surgut. As for you Denikin who doesn’t want to return to the army to rescue, that’s fine, then you can stay in Tyumen, anyway.
With the strength of Vorkuta's troops, it is enough to relieve Surgut. At worst, the whole army will guard Surgut and form a confrontation with the opponent. Denikin will still conduct a diversionary battle in the south.
In the overall situation, it is the safest.
This order was quickly issued to Vorkuta. Baron Peter Nikolayevich Wrangel was in a dilemma after receiving the order. Unlike Denikin, he would never dare to order the cabinet.
Disobedience, not to mention that the Baron had betrayed the Queen once before. Once Her Majesty the Queen is aroused to be suspicious again, everything will be over.
From the bottom of his heart, His Excellency the Baron agrees with Denikin's point of view. What's more, compared with Serov, Vorkuta has basically been controlled by the Russian Empire. If this territory is abandoned in vain, not only will he feel it is a pity, but also Vorkuta
The people will also completely lose confidence in the Russian Empire.
But then again, the Baron simply could not do it and stand still despite orders. But when it came to rescuing Surgut, the Baron was worried about being surrounded and calling for reinforcements. Therefore, he hurriedly summoned the generals to hold a meeting and discussed it for a long time.
Finally decided to send some troops
Go to relieve the siege of Surgut. But Vorkuta must not give up. At the same time, you must be careful of the enemy's tricks during the march to relieve the siege. Once the siege fails, the troops can immediately retreat to Vorkuta to ensure security, relying on the advantages of the port.
Deal with the Red Army.
After making the decision, for the sake of caution, His Excellency the Baron also specifically asked his confidant, General Stanislavsky, the Chief of Staff, to serve as the commander to ensure safety. In this way, the day after receiving the order, Vorkuta
The troops were divided into two groups, one group continued to garrison, and the other group was commanded by General Stanislavsky to march south to relieve the siege of Surgut. But none of them expected that Trotsky
It was simply a false shot. Only a few divisions of the 300,000-strong army he commanded to attack Surgut were Red Army troops, and the rest were all local armed forces cobbled together from random sources, which are what the Soviets commonly call militia organizations. These militiamen
The organization has not received much training at all, it does not even have complete weapons and equipment, and most of its people do not even have military uniforms. It is completely a gimmick to gather numbers.
When marching eastward, Trotsky deliberately made the situation louder and put the real Red Army troops at the front. He looked like he was swallowing the mountains and rivers to scare people. Except for part of his main force, he was stationed in the Serov area.
In order to ensure that there was no way out, the rest of the troops had already quietly hid, waiting patiently for the opponent's reaction.
Trotsky was overjoyed when he received information about the southern and northern armies of the Russian Imperial Government. On the one hand, he asked the troops attacking Surgut to intensify their efforts, so as to cause the enemy to have the Red Army occupy Surgut in one fell swoop.
special, and continued to march to the east using it as a stronghold. At the same time, Trotsky sent two cavalry units and an infantry division to launch harassing attacks against the reinforcements in Vorkuta.
As expected, the garrison in Surgut was frightened. On the one hand, they strengthened fortifications and prepared for defense. On the other hand, they began to prepare to destroy the railway to prevent the other party from using the railway line to quickly advance eastward after occupying Surgut.
.At the same time, telegrams for help one after another flew to the Far East and Vorkuta like snowflakes, almost becoming a frightened bird.
As for the reinforcements in Vorkuta, they were blocked by the Red Army troops when they were one-third of their march. Although the cautious General Stanislavsky had been prepared, the Red Army's sneak attack did not bring any consequences to his troops.
There were many casualties, but this bad omen made him more suspicious of the opponent's intentions, so he slowed down his advance and sent a large number of scouts to conduct reconnaissance for the large army to prevent falling into the enemy's encirclement.
This situation lasted for five full days. On the fifth day, General Stanislavsky led the troops to walk most of the original road, and Surgut did not fall into the enemy's hands. Although the Red Army occupied the front, the situation remained the same.
Unable to break through the opponent's defense.
Just when the Surgut garrison and General Stanislavsky breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that the siege of Surgut could be lifted if they tightened their grip, suddenly a shocking news came, which shocked the Russian Empire.
The government troops were stunned and stunned.
Compared with the war-torn Surgut, the reinforcements at every step, and Vorkuta, which was wary of the enemy's moves, the southern region seemed particularly calm from the beginning of the war, especially after Denikin made the decision to stand still.
, the Tyumen area is the most stable area among the three.
But no one expected that one day when the fighting was fierce in the central part of the country, Denikin suddenly discovered that a group of Red Army troops appeared from nowhere and ran to the south of Tyumen. At the same time, several Red Army troops came from the north.
Nan rushed in quickly and hit the outside of Tyumen before he could react.
"No! I fell into a trap!"
Denikin had been a soldier for most of his life, and he quickly realized what was going on. According to intelligence, there were more than 200,000 Red Army troops in the north and south of Tyumen, accounting for almost more than half of the Soviet eastward marching front. Moreover, there were several
Denikin could tell at a glance by the unit number that this was Trotsky's main force. In other words, the attacks in the north and central part were all a trap set by Trotsky. The enemy's target was him from the beginning.
Denikin.
"Your Excellency! Withdraw!" Denikin's troops totaled more than 50,000 people, and the total number of reserve troops he had newly trained in Tyumen exceeded 70,000. Judging from this number, Denikin's strength is not weak.
, but it also depends on who you compare with. If the opponent only has a military strength of 100,000, Denikin is not afraid at all, but now more than 200,000 Red Army troops suddenly appeared, and
And there is also the ace main force of the Red Army, which means that Trotsky intends to eat the south in one go, and then turn around and head north. At this time, even Denikin, who has experienced hundreds of battles, can't help but be a little panicked. The opponent's military strength
It was more than three times his own strength, and he also had constant backup. If Denikin held on to Tyumen and was trapped in the isolated city, the only outcome would be the annihilation of his entire army.
Retreat was not only the suggestion of his subordinates, but also the first thought that flashed through Denikin's mind. Since the failure of the Battle of Moscow, Denikin's fighting style has changed. In the past two years, he has been changing positions.
In guerrilla warfare, you can do it with ease, making the opponent's head spin, and then you can
His losses were extremely small. Although from a tactical point of view, his change was successful, his mentality changed due to his initial failure. He lost his original spirit when commanding the troops. Now he is in a dilemma.
As a commander he must make an immediate decision.
But retreating was not easy. Trotsky was so cunning and had spent so much effort to get Denikin into a trap. How could he let Denikin escape so easily? When Denikin realized that something was wrong, he
The retreat route has been cut off by the Red Army, and the opponent's main force has also reached the city. Once it retreats hastily at this time, the army will collapse.
Swinging his eyes fiercely, Denikin seemed to have aged a lot overnight. He never expected that the opponent would have such a big appetite and attack so harshly. Now, the opponent has not launched a formal attack, which does not mean that Trotsky intends to let him go.
One yard. Denikin knew very well that this was Trotsky's most violent offensive after he had firmly secured his pockets and tried to make all arrangements to eat him up in one fell swoop.
"Come here!" Throwing the hot cigarette butt on the ground, Denikin took a deep breath and stood up: "Send a report to the Far East, Vorkuta! The Red Army troops attacking Surgut are a cover, Trotsky
The main force has moved south, and there are only a few in the Serov area.
Thousands of garrison troops. Please request the troops in Vorkuta to immediately turn around and march westward, directly attacking the core of the Soviet Union. Our army will hold on in Tyumen and firmly contain Trotsky's main force. The success or failure of the empire's revival depends on this! Please
Your Majesty, please make a decision as soon as possible!"
